Another thing to concider is the partitions. Was the original install done
with the IBM CD's? I think that a small partition is created in addition to
the boot partition. Then if you just used the Windows install CD's to do the
BMR, the information in BOOT.INI wouldn't match. Before doing the restore of
the C: drive, save the boot.ini file and compare it after the restore.
